About Dinosaur Detective Agency

In this platform arcade game, the setting is a prehistoric civilization of intelligent dinosaurs. The player assumes the role of Sherlock Ness, a detective who operates an agency to solve crimes for other dinosaurs.

Gameplay involves navigating through distinct levels, each representing a different case and environment. The primary objective is to locate the level's exit while avoiding or dealing with hostile creatures. Enemies can be defeated by jumping on them or temporarily stopped using a camera's flash, which immobilizes them for five seconds.

Progress is structured around four separate investigations. Completing a stage requires the player to successfully photograph the culprit, a task governed by a limited supply of camera shots.
